(W. S. Maugham, ‘Of Human Bondage’, ch. VI) — Мистер Кэри часто говорил жене, что если мистер Джосайя Грейвс не угомонится, он ему даст по рукам, но миссис Кэри советовала ему не сердиться на Джосайю Грейвса: у него добрые намерения и не его вина, что он дурно воспитан.
To tell you the truth, I've been misbehaving myself, and I expect you would give me a rap over the knuckles if you knew what I'd been doing. (D. du Maurier, ‘My Cousin Rachel’, ch. VI) — По правде говоря, я скверно себя вел, и я думаю, что мне здорово бы влетело, знай вы, чем я занимался.
There was still no excuse for what happened. He had to hand out a stiff rap on the knuckles to those responsible. — Никакого оправдания тому, что произошло, нет. Он наложил на виновных строгие взыскания.
